** Summary changed: - FFe: [MIR] gnome-weather + [MIR] gnome-weather
** Description changed: Availability ============ - Co-maintained with Debian GNOME. We would be in sync except that the Debian GNOME team is targeting GNOOME 3.26 and skipping GNOME 3.24. - + Co-maintained and in sync with Debian GNOME. Built for all supported architectures. Rationale ========= It is a simple standalone app to show the weather. If installed, it adds the weather status to the clock menu in GNOME Shell. (This was introduced in GNOME 3.24 and is available in Ubuntu - 17.04.) + 17.04+.) The app optionally uses GNOME's geolocation services powered by geoclue. This can be enabled or disabled from GNOME Settings>Privacy>Location Services. GNOME shows an indicator in the right of the top bar when Location Services is in use. GNOME Weather has been part of core GNOME since GNOME 3.20 (early 2016). Security ======== No known security issues https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/source-package/gnome-weather https://launchpad.net/gnome-weather/+cve Uses gjs/mozjs which the Ubuntu Security Team reluctantly accepted into main for gnome-shell https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/FAQ#mozjs Quality assurance ================= - The Ubuntu Desktop bugs team will need to subscribe to this package https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-weather https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=gnome-weather https://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=product%3A"gnome-weather"; No upstream tests or autopkgtests. Dependencies ============ No universe binary dependencies Standards compliance ==================== - 3.9.8 + 4.1.1 Maintenance =========== - - Actively developed upstream. Last release was 3.24.0 in MArch. + - Actively developed upstream. Last release was 3.26.0 in September. https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-weather/log Debian packaging uses svn, but we're hoping to convert to git this year (which will allow for Ubuntu branches): https://sources.debian.net/src/gnome-weather/unstable/debian/ - - (Note that that the Ubuntu package is 3.24.0) Background information ====================== The app is minimally feature complete. The weather data itself comes via libgweather which is written in C and uses libsoup and has been in main for years. I believe the default provider is METAR.
